Agyeman Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15326 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: feature Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2014-12-24 12:48 EST Last Modified: 2014-12-24 12:48 EST ====================================================================== Summary: CMake can't read UTF-16 source files Description: I'm trying to do dependency parsing in cmake for parallax propeller spin files. This involves opening up *.spin code files and parsing them using the file(STRINGS ... REGEX ...) command. Most spin files are saved as ASCII/UTF-8 files and there are no problems parsing these files. However, some spin files are saved in UTF-16 format which allows the use of special schematic characters in the files. Using the file(STRINGS ... REGEX ...) command does not work on UTF-16 files as cmake is unable to parse them.
Steps to Reproduce: The below code should find the "DAT" string in the attached file... file(STRINGS "Quadrature Encoder.spin" OUT REGEX "^[\t ]*[Dd][Aa][Tt].*$") Additional Information: Saving the problem UTF-16 files as UTF-8 files fixes the issue. But, I can't just convert the source files. There's a lot of legacy spin code I need to support that uses the UTF-16 format for the special schematic characters. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2014-12-24 12:48 Kwabena W.
